A Lax Wall (short for lacrosse wall) is a training tool lacrosse players use to practice throwing, catching, and shooting independently. It’s typically a rebounder, concrete wall, or specially designed bounce-back net that sends the ball back when thrown at it.
Purpose of a Lax Wall:
Solo practice: Allows players to train without a partner.
Skill repetition: Offers countless reps to develop muscle memory.
Versatile training: Works for all positions—attack, midfield, defense, and goalies.
How It Helps Improve Skills:
Passing & Catching: Repeatedly throwing against the wall sharpens both hands, improves accuracy, and quickens reflexes.
Stick Skills: Enhances hand-eye coordination, stick control, and overall confidence with the ball.
Footwork & Body Positioning: Players can work on moving their feet, squaring up to the ball, and simulating game-like movements.
Weak Hand Development: One of the best ways to strengthen your non-dominant hand is through repetition.
Reaction Time: Helps players react faster to unpredictable bounces or quick returns.
Regular use of a Lax Wall is one of the most effective ways for players to level up their fundamentals—some coaches even say, “The wall never lies.”
